Ringing the warning bell

It's not just that wacko ACLU crowd trumpeting warnings of our Constitution Under Siege. The Patriot News of Harrisburg chimed in yesterday:

Big Brother is alive and well and going by the name of Un cle Sam. What isn't the government monitoring in our lives in these times?...Congress must agree to put an end to this large-scale governmental invasion of privacy, total disregard for the Fourth Amendment's protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures," and administration failure to seek and obtain legislative or judicial approval for its questionable activities.

Hanging in the balance may be the preservation of the Constitution itself as the stalwart protector of our rights and liberties.
